OK, if God existed before anything ("anything" didn't even exist yet), then that would mean that darkness, evil, sin, etc did not exist. If God created good, for example, He would have had to create evil (perhaps indirectly, but it couldn't really be "indirectly", because He created everything, which would include "indirectly").
Without evil, how can you tell if something is good? You have nothing to compare it to.
So, if God "is" love, for example, that would mean that there was already hate. And hate would be something God did not create.
So, wouldn't it make more sense to say that there are two Gods, opposites of each other (like God and Satan (I know Satan is not a god, but just listen)) who always co-existed?
It's impossible to live in a world where everything is love, and know that everything is love, because what are you comparing it to? If you can't compare it to anything, how can you tell what it is?
Don't you think there should be some sort of balance?
